2016 Legislative Forum

The PHADA/Rutgers University Executive Director Education Program (EDEP) will continue September 9–10, in conjunction with PHADA’s 2016 Legislative Forum. Two courses will be offered:

  • Financial Management (Friday, September 9)
    This one-day course offers the executive director a “big picture” approach to fiscal resource management. Participants learn the basics of budget preparations well as HUD audit requirements. Management and entrepreneurial options are introduced that will help EDs to cope with anticipated changes at HUD.

  • PHAS/SEMAP (Saturday, September 10)
    This session reviews the theory behind the Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) and the Section 8 Management Assessment Program (SEMAP) and provides a detailed explanation of the HUD indicators, including how each is measured and graded. The use of PHAS and SEMAP as management tools is discussed, and participants are shown how to improve their authority’s scores through a systems approach.
